Wrong Move at the Right Time for Berk

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A preflop confrontation resulted in Michael Berk making a move for his last 28,000 and seemingly getting his hand caught in the cookie jar by Bill Klein

Michael Berk: KQ All in
Bill Klein: KK

Berk was about to get up out of his chair but that changed when the flop fell QQ9 to give him trips. The 6 turn kept Klein drawing live to a diamond, but the 6 river paired the board and improved Berk to a full house to ship the lucky double.
